Wanted only the best,
The best ingredients,
The best recipes,
The best pans, but most important of
All, the best mixer to knead the dough.
He bought a Bosch.
He called it the Cadillac of mixers and liked to
Joke that it would power a boat.
For over two years, now, the appliance has
Occupied its prime position on the
Counter, and I've used it only once.
Should I remove it?
I wavered.
Today I finally decided to put it away.
I stashed the heavy machine in the closet and
Arranged several items in the
Opened up space.
I guess I'll adjust to my new decor, but
In that spot where his magnificant
Mixer sat, I'll always see my
Jack.
(I put his picture there.)
